~
Question 1: “How can our ‘Jesus Reveiver‘ help us solve problems that can keep our soul from Heaven?

~
Question 2: “What is ‘the one right answer’ to that question?”
Answer: “‘Be as Catholic as you can!’ Catholic Teaching has provided the best solutions for billions of Catholics and solved trillions of our problems for 2,000 years.”

Question 3: “Are all problems the same?”
Answer: “All problems are sins committed by those whose ‘Jesus Receivers’ are too small to receive This Teaching from God: ‘Love God and love your neighbor as yourself.’”

Question 4: “What is the best way to obey that?”
Answer: “Make ourself into what St. Paul made himself in Today’s Reading from Titus 1:1-9. ‘Paul, a slave of God and an Apostle of Jesus Christ . . .’ St. Paul made himself an obedient ‘slave of God’ and ‘an apostle of Jesus Christ’ because his ‘Jesus Receiver’ let him understand the life-preserving Truth: “God and His Son know more than any of about everything.”

Question 5: “What do Catholics do when we have a ‘problem’?”
Answer: “We define the problem by seeing the sin that caused it. We open our ‘Jesus Receiver’ by asking ask Jesus to give us guidance: “Jesus, what do You want me to do?”
~
Question 6: “What is The First Thing our ‘Jesus Receiver’ will help us understand about every problem?”
Answer: “All problems are caused by sins! Luke 17:1-6 lets our ‘Jesus Receiver’ understand: ‘Jesus said to His Disciples, ‘Things that cause sin will inevitably occur, but woe to the one through whom they occur.’”
~
Question 7: “Is the First Step toward solving our problem realizing what will happen to the sinner who caused the problem?”
Answer: “Jesus was very clear! ‘Things that cause sin will inevitably occur, but woe to the one through whom they occur. It would be better for him if a millstone were put around his neck and he were thrown into the sea than for him to cause one of these little ones to sin.’”

Catholics solve problems with the peace that comes from praying for the sinner who created them.
A simple rhyme: “All problems are caused by sins / Some without and some within.”
